When Buyback and Tech have a baby..
Phones.trade is the result of a tech development team stumbling upon the buyback industry. In 2020 the Founder was introduced to the world of “phone flipping”, a world of post-it notes, unformatted google sheets and $50K boxes shipped across the globe without any detailed reporting of what’s inside, “bending over” for a plethora of unjustified deductions at the mercy of buyers we never met.
Yep, you are right, an absolute nightmare of a business to be in, but we were also making 15-20k a month, so who cares, right? Well, it wasn’t scalable, it was unpredictable, the business couldn’t run without the business owner, and without data it was hard to improve.
If you are part of, or looking to get into the buyback industry, you have arrived at the right place. Phones.trade aims to be the missing piece of your puzzle, the partner in crime you need, to make your buyback venture a legitimate success. Unlike other Direct Buyers and Platform-As-A-Service, we do both. We believe that to build the best tech solution, we have to practice what we preach. And since we started as phone flippers and grew into the international wholesale market, we will be able to support you every step of the way.
